White has now taken on the “we’ll see” approach despite Fitch’s 2-0 mark against the talented Brazilian. It’s likely the promoter wants to see how Jake Shields fares against Martin Kampmann in his Octagon debut at UFC 121. An explosive victory by the former Strikeforce middleweight champ could very well leapfrog him into a title match.

Fitch was asked about the possibility of having to face Kos – his fellow American Kickboxing Academy teammate – for the title, but wasn’t thinking about anything past his wedding in a few weeks.

Junior dos Santos, on the other hand, had his heavyweight top contender spot confirmed. So, expect for the Brazilian to be watching the main event at UFC 121 between champ Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez VERY carefully.

Sonnen graciously accepted defeat and was already pushing for a rematch. He reiterated his desires to only compete for titles, even jokingly suggesting he would starve himself in order to challenge 145-pound WEC champion Jose Aldo for his title.

Sonnen refused to apologize for anything he said to hype the fight.

Silva admitted he needed to go all out in the 5thRound and was relieved to leave Oaktown with his belt in tow. He said he wanted to get a submission win to honor the Nogueira Brothers, who awarded him his black belt him Brazilian jiu jitsu many moons ago.

Sonnen had previously claimed a BJJ black belt from the Nog Bros was equivalent to the free toy you receive in your Happy Meal.
